HOW TO PREACH THE GOSPEL PROPERLY

There are right and wrong ways to preach the gospel (Matthew 13). We explore the hidden truths that underlie the well-known parable, asking who is the ultimate sower and who are symbolized by the vrious types of soil, reflecting on how they symbolize the different receptions to the gospel message. The critical role of the Holy Spirit in effective evangelism is highlighted and the way that external pressures and personal trials can dull our response to God's call to repent and believe in Christ and his saving work.
